I attended a Magdelan Walks presentation on Norwich Social Housing on Saturday. It was an interesting presentation and initially talked about the early hospitals; The Great Hospital of 1249 and Doughty’s Hospital of 1677. I had never heard of Doughty’s Hospital so I thought a related article would be of interest. It can be located on Golden Dog Lane, near the St. Crispin’s and Magdelan Street flyover. Of course in the 17th century it wasn’t a hospital as we know it but more of a home for the poor. So what was the Quid Pro Quo arrangement that enabled Willam Doughty to build the hospital? Given that William Doughty was a Puritan, did he impose any religious restrictions or requirements as part of building the new hospital?
